Homemade Bubble Solution Games for Kids

Bubbles are not only a blow and laugh activity, but kids enjoy a lot of games based on them.

• A very popular game that kids play is the bubble-blowing competition.  The aim of this game is blowing the largest bubble. You can also twist it to add more fun. For example, see who can produce the most bubbles at one go.
• If you want your kid to be active and more disciplined through games, you can arrange a bubble race. It is a very active bubble game. The best thing is that it has a simple gameplay that keeps the kids occupied for long. To start the game, you have to make the children stand in a line like they do when they are starting a race. That will be the starting line of this race. Now, you take a long ribbon and mark a finishing line at a reasonable distance. Do not set the finishing line too far, as it is a bubble race. Now you ask all the children to blow a bubble. The aim of the game is to simply send the bubbles over the finish line. The first child whose bubble crosses the finish line is the winner of the game. This game is perfect for picnics or birthday parties.
• Another game that could be interesting for kids is bubbles passing. This is a game that is a kid’s version of passing the pillow. For this game, you can make the kids sit together in a tight-knit circle. Now, each of the kids has their bubbles ready in his hand. Now, the first kid who starts blowing the bubble will blow it over to the next kid who will again blow the bubble to the next kid. This process will continue until the bubble pops. The kid that pops the bubble will then come to the centre of the circle and sing a song or dance to a song. This is a fun mix of games and cultural activities to keep kids of different ages occupied.

Fun bubble games are definitely a winner at any party or picnic. You can ask your kid to make a bubble wand from regular ingredients like straws, cookie cutters, plastic slotted spoons, etc. If you have a pet at home, this activity can keep both your kid and the pet busy. As a parent, it becomes easy for you to keep your children busy and at the same time, it is an inexpensive activity. So, go ahead and have fun with your little one with various bubble activities. You can also invite your kids’ friends over for a wholesome bubble party!
